SFYTT, I down ??? to Go!

Hello, well that feels good, I have my first Christmas card for 2010 done!

This is an image from Amber Ink, called Tis the season to be pretty! Amber Ink is this weeks Sponsor of SFYTT (Sketch For You To Try) and this is my entry! I loved this sketch.

I coloured the girl with copics, but her skirt is paper pieced. I paper pieced the tree and added another piece on the bottom to mak it longer. It's hard to see in the photo, but I added glitter to the star and the tops of her boots. I shaded the background a bit by keeping the oval nestie on and sponging in Tim Holtz antique linen. The oval is popped up.

The card base is real red, all the dp is from a Daisy D's pad.

It's finished off with red satin ribbon and filigree brads with red crystal brads in the centers.

This also fits the DTGD10BevMom02, winter wonderland!

Have a Great Day!

Pretty Package for a Movie Pass!

Hello, I made this for 3 of the DTGD10 challenges.


DTGD10suzannejdean, at the movies
DTGD10Toy, pretty package
DTGD10debdeb, all stitched up


The theme going to the movies reminded me of popcorn, and I love going to the movies and thought this would make a great gift idea. I put a movie gift card inside!


The popcorn bowl and stamp are from Amber Ink. The company is not quite a week old, and she has some great stuff over there! I used the digi image from the set called Hope, popcorn & wine!


I made the popcorn bowl large and printed it onto white and red dp.


I coloured the popcorn in with copics and I also used a galaxy milky white marker which kinda gave it some texture! I paper pieced the bowl and sewed around the edges.


To make the gift card holder, you need a piece of cardstock 4.25" x 11" score at 4", 5.5" & 7".

You can find a great picture tutorial here on Jen Marie's Blog.


Have a Great Day,
Laurie

Leave A Message Please, I'm Busy!

The Dare to Get Dirty challenges are in full swing over at SCS, and I couldn't wait to join it! I made this for DTGD10kittie747, Lost and Found. Okay so maybe I wouldn't have thrown this acrylic photo frame out, I would have donated it, but instead I altered it! Now it's a message center, cause sometimes you need a night out with the girls with no interuptions!

This fabulous image is aFREE digi available at Amber Ink. She has several Digi's up right now, and Tuesday July 20, is the Grand Opening of her Store, with Stamps, Digi's and more, I can't wait!

For this, I made a mat for inside the frame with dp from Memory Keepers called Girls night out-on the rocks. I backed this with kiwi kiss. Then I used the MS grass punch for the bottom and sponged the grass edges. Then I slipped this into the frame.

I made a little holder for the post-it note pad with black cs and punched the edge with the scallop punch. The pencil is sort of a lost & found item too, I think it's from Ikea!

The images I used are from a set called Hope, Popcorn and Wine. I coloured the Girl and wine bottle with copics, and cut them out. I positioned the girl in the grass then punched a smaller strip of grass and popped it up with dimensionals. Then wine bottle is glued onto this piece. The flowers were made with the bitty SU flower punch and I added gems to the centers.
